Eve Andree Laramee
a. Eve Andree mixed fictional and non-fictional history into her art pieces. This enables the art to become a little more interesting and intriguing. It enhances the viewers’ perceptions and allows room for questions. In a way, it can be seen as a test of knowledge and contemplation for the viewer(s). Complicating experience, in this case, can make the art work more intriguing to the viewer. Since when is it unacceptable to make the audience question the content?
b. I believe that these artists want to push individuals into believing something that is not fully the truth, in order to test their gullibility. Many people are too quick to accept what they are told or what they see before they really analyze and think it through. These artists seem to test this idea.

  1. I love your question? "Since when is it unacceptable to make an audience question content?" This is great! I also think many audiences like to figure out they were tricked-that illusion is refreshing for lots of folks... on the other hand I wouldn't want to be the art critic in that case!
